The Chiku plant, also known as Sapota or Sapodilla (Manilkara zapota), is a slow-growing, evergreen tree native to Central America. It can reach heights of 30 to 40 feet, with glossy, dark green leaves and small, unnoticeable flowers. The tree is known for its milky latex, which is used to produce chicle (a gum used in chewing gum). The fruits are round to oval, about the size of a baseball, with rough, brownish skin and sweet, juicy pulp.
